Yun Lintian watched Peng Xiaowang run away with a thoughtful expression. Definitely, someone informed Peng Xiaowang the plan had failed. The speed of their intelligence network couldn't be underestimated in the slightest. Yun Lintian was jealous of this, but it couldn't be helped. After all, these clans were deeply rooted in the divine city for who knows how many years.
"Why did they run?" Yun Lingwei was puzzled. She carefully checked the surrounding before deactivating the formation.
"Their plan has failed. Of course, they have to run." Yun Lintian explained briefly about his conjecture.
Yun Lingwei listened to this and was amazed by Yun Lintian's wit. Though Peng Xiaowang's plan wasn't that complicated, she didn't even notice it.. It seemed she needed to stop eating and reading more books in the future.
Woosh!
All of a sudden, Han Bingling's figure appeared in the restaurant. She glanced around briefly and turned to Yun Lintian. "I heard someone caused trouble here."
"Why are you here? It's not your concern, right?" Yun Lingwei puffed her cheeks, looking at Han Bingling with anger. She fully believed the departure of Yun Qianxue was mainly Han Bingling's responsibility.
Han Bingling looked at Yun Lingwei with a smile. She seemed to understand why Yun Lingwei had a prejudice against her. "Your safety is my concern."
Before Yun Lingwei could argue back, Yun Lintian stopped her and said to Han Bingling. "Did Brother Bai inform you?"
Han Bingling shifted her gaze back to Yun Lintian and replied. "Yes. You're surely smart. You can see through their plan at a glance. If Bai Yun entered the trial, the Peng clan and the Lin clan would never spare him." She changed the topic. "Can I have the honor to be the first customer?"
"Dream on!" Yun Lingwei snorted coldly.
However, Yun Lintian nodded his head and made an inviting gesture. "Please."
Yun Lingwei looked at Yun Lintian in disbelief and wanted to ask why, but Yun Lintian said sternly. "Go prepare the best dish." He paused for a second and added. "This is my order."
Hearing his unquestionable tone, Yun Lingwei glared at Han Bingling and reluctantly walked to the kitchen.
"It seems there's a misunderstanding between us." Han Bingling sat down on a chair nearby.
Yun Lintian poured her a cup of tea and asked. "Where is she now?"
Han Bingling naturally understood who Yun Lintian referred to. She answered with a smile. "She's already reaching the place. Don't worry. My people will protect her."
Yun Lintian nodded and calmly sipped the tea.
"You don't want to know why she left?" Han Bingling asked curiously.
"I can guess about it." Yun Lintian replied plainly.
For some reason, Han Bingling felt uncomfortable hearing Yun Lintian's emotionless voice. It seemed their relationship had regressed.
She tried to pick up other topics. "I heard you went to the academy yesterday. Have you decided which hall to enter?"
"Moonlight Hall." Yun Lintian answered without additional explanation.
"Oh? Why? Isn't that the lowest rank hall?" Han Bingling could figure out the reason, but she just wanted to find a conversation.
"It means no competition. You should know my purpose in joining the academy. Why asking?" Yun Lintian responded.
Han Bingling curled her lips and changed the topic once again. "Have you taken care of those abyssal profound beast cores?"
Yun Lintian nodded his head and said. "If you have more, just give them to me."
Han Bingling's eyes narrowed. "You seem to have a good way to use them."
Yun Lintian took another sip of tea and remained silent.
Han Bingling stared at him for a while and let out a soft sigh. "Alright, I won't ask anymore. How come you turn into such a boring little boy now? It's not cute at all." Her gaze inadvertently landed on Linlin, who slept soundly beside Yun Lintian, and a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes as she discovered Linlin's strength had grown tremendously.
Yun Lintian noticed this, but he didn't intend to hide anything. He became indifferent to Han Bingling because he wanted the Peng clan and the Lin clan believed he and Han Bingling weren't that close.
Peng Xiaowang's action a while ago proved that the Peng clan tried to figure out how deep the connection between Yun Lintian and Han Bingling was. Since Han Bingling came here almost in an instant after knowing Yun Lintian was in trouble, the Peng clan would be more cautious from now on.
Yun Lintian didn't want to see this result. He didn't want the Peng clan to stop trouble him entirely. Mainly, it was because the Peng clan had something to do with Poison Valley. The more they took action, the easier Yun Lintian could find evidence.
At this moment, Yun Lingwei walked out from the kitchen with four Earth's Chinese cuisine dishes.
Han Bingling's eyes lit up when she saw these delicacies. When Yun Lingwei placed all of them on the table, Han Bingling started to taste them right away.
Yun Lingwei looked at Han Bingling weirdly. "You aren't afraid I put a poison in it?"
Han Bingling stopped her motion and smiled. "I can see you love cooking. You definitely won't disgrace yourself by doing that."
"Hmph!" Yun Lingwei snorted and returned to the kitchen. She simply didn't want to see Han Bingling.
The meal went on quickly as Yun Lintian didn't say anything during this period. Han Bingling finished everything cleanly with no single trace left. She let out a satisfied smile and said sincerely. "This is the best meal I ever had. Tell me, where did she get the recipes? I had never seen something like this before. Especially this coconut cake. I want a thousand more." She subconsciously licked her lips when saying this.
"You should go back. I have something to do later." Yun Lintian said and then sent a sound transmission to Han Bingling. "If you want to explore the Peng clan, you need to stop helping me."
Han Bingling's brows raised slightly, and she immediately understood Yun Lintian's intention. She replied softly. "Alright. Since our debts have been cleared, we shouldn't contact each other again." Following that, she vanished into thin air.
Far away from the restaurant, an old man with a long beard was thoughtful while staring in Yun Lintian's direction. He clearly heard everything they said earlier.
